Copying your proposal to the wiki is a good idea, best to make a site on 
your userpage.

For your work, we prefer that you use our own SVN system. If you will 
get your own branch or share a branch with another student is still unknown.
We need to discuss that first.

If you have exams there, it's best to have a good and solid plan before 
this date, and you already should be familiar with Blenders code basics 
(compiling, debugging etc.)
On which date are you finished with your exams and when can you start 
working?
It's okay if you can only start a few days after May 21st.

Best regards,
Thomas
